Closed STUFF

Earthbound

Dungeonman might be a reference to Brick Road from "Earthbound," who was attempting to attain the title of "Dungeonman" throughout the course of the game.

• Decline Why, you ask? Let me explain the Dungeonman of Earthbound for a minute. The man attempts to MAKE dungeons, and in the end BECOMES a dungeon - which is not the same as Thy Dungeonman, who merely EXPLORES dungeons. And with no other connection, I can't let this one sit without a vote. --Jay 04:17, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

IMPOSSIBLE??

I just can't seem to get ahead in this game! Is it meant to be unbeatable? -Kinsey

No, it's not. Exactly what are you having trouble with? --Jay (Gobble) 16:42, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

remember that the stupidist answer is probably the right one in this game

Was Made After

The "get dagger" command is probably from the unreleased Strong Bad email E-mail Birds on the strongbad_email.exe DVD, in which Strong Bad plays a text adventure and tries to get a dagger but fails. However, there is no way to confirm this at present, as we don't know if "E-mail Birds" was created before or after "video games".

Yes there is. Video Games was released on the Compy 386. E-mail Birds was on the Tandy 400. -Swimma Dan.

Jimberjam

Does anyone happen to know what a jimberjam is? Ever since the word was coined, I have used it mindlessly without knowing its true definition.

According to dictionary.com, the word has no definition. Perhaps the Chaps made it up? --DorianGray

http://www.google.com/search?q=define:jimberjam is empty as well. Probably coined. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  07:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe they based it on this word [1] ;-) Loafing 07:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

What? (Weird items)

Are these even true?

"Bauble" is a common inside joke in text adventures relating to Zork I, in which someone would wind the clockwork canary, resulting in the creation of a "bauble." 

The line "Apparently, this was a load-bearing FLASK" may be a reference to the large amount of RPGs where, when you defeat a boss or get an item, the dungeon would begin to collapse for no apparent reason, and you would have to escape. 

They seem very sketchy to me. → ☮y P … "Biscuitheads!" … 20:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
